This G3588 is a faithful G4103 saying, G3056 and worthy G514 of all G3956 acceptation, G594 that Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 came G2064 into G1519 the world G2889 to save G4982 sinners; G268 of whom G3739 I am G1510 chief. G4413

This G3588 is a faithful G4103 saying G3056 and worthy G514 of all G3956 acceptation. G594

It is a faithful G4103 saying: G3056 For if G1487 we be dead G4880 with him, we shall also G2532 live G4800 with him:

This G3588 is a faithful G4103 saying, G3056 and these G5130 things I will G1014 that you affirm G1226 constantly, G1226 that they which have believed G4100 in God G2316 might be careful G5431 to maintain G4291 good G2570 works. G2041 These G5023 things are good G2570 and profitable G5624 to men. G444

A bishop G1985 then G3767 must G1163 be blameless, G423 the husband G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 vigilant, G3524 sober, G4998 of good behavior, G2887 given to hospitality, G5382 apt G1317 to teach; G1317

One that rules G4291 well G2573 his own G2398 house, G3624 having G2192 his children G5043 in subjection G5292 with all G3956 gravity; G4587

Not a novice, G3504 lest G2443 G3361 being lifted G5187 up with pride G5187 he fall G1706 into G1519 the condemnation G2917 of the devil. G1228

For it is written G1125 in the book G976 of Psalms, G5568 Let his habitation G1886 be desolate, G2048 and let no G3361 man dwell G2730 therein: G1722 G846 and his position as bishop G1984 let another G2087 take. G2983

Paul G3972 and Timotheus, G5095 the servants G1401 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to all G3956 the saints G40 in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 which G3588 are at G1722 Philippi, G5375 with the bishops G1985 and deacons: G1249

For a bishop G1985 must G1163 be blameless, G410 as the steward G3622 of God; G2316 not self-willed, G829 not soon G3711 angry, G3711 not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not given to filthy G150 lucre; G146

For you were as sheep G4263 going G4105 astray; G4105 but are now G3568 returned G1994 to the Shepherd G4166 and Bishop G1985 of your G5216 souls. G5590

Take heed G4337 therefore to yourselves, G1438 and to all G3956 the flock, G4168 over G1722 the which G3739 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 has made G5087 you overseers, G1985 to feed G4165 the church G1577 of God, G2316 which G3739 he has purchased G4046 with his own G2398 blood. G129

Looking G1983 diligently lest G3361 any G5100 man fail G5302 of the grace G5485 of God; G2316 lest G3361 any G5100 root G4491 of bitterness G4088 springing G5453 up trouble G1776 you, and thereby G1223 G5026 many G4183 be defiled; G3392

But let none G3361 of you suffer G3958 as a murderer, G5406 or G2228 as a thief, G2812 or G2228 as an evildoer, G2555 or G2228 as a busybody G244 in other G244 men's matters.

Feed G4165 the flock G4168 of God G2316 which is among G1722 you, taking the oversight G1983 thereof, not by constraint, G317 but willingly; G1596 not for filthy G147 lucre, G147 but of a ready G4289 mind; G4290

The fruit H6529 of the righteous H6662 is a tree H6086 of life; H2416 and he that wins H3947 souls H5315 is wise. H2450

Likewise, G3779 I say G3004 to you, there is joy G5479 in the presence G1799 of the angels G32 of God G2316 over G1909 one G1520 sinner G268 that repents. G3340

For I speak G3004 to you Gentiles, G1484 inasmuch G1909 G3745 as I am G1510 the apostle G652 of the Gentiles, G1484 I magnify G1392 my G3450 office: G1248

For the perfecting G2677 of the saints, G40 for the work G2041 of the ministry, G1248 for the edifying G3619 of the body G4983 of Christ: G5547

Now G1161 we exhort G3870 you, brothers, G80 warn G3560 them that are unruly, G813 comfort G3888 the feebleminded, G3642 support G472 the weak, G772 be patient G3114 toward G4314 all G3956 men.

Brothers, G80 if G1437 any G1536 of you do err G4105 from the truth, G225 and one G5100 convert G1994 him;

Let him know, G1097 that he which converts G1994 the sinner G268 from the error G4106 of his way G3598 shall save G4982 a soul G5590 from death, G2288 and shall hide G2572 a multitude G4128 of sins. G266
